Delta Air Lines and New York-based designer Zac Posen are partnering to bring high fashion and function to a different kind of runway as part of Delta\u2019s new uniform program.<\/p>\n
Delta is creating a program for nearly all of its uniformed employees. Through the partnership, Posen will design a uniform collection for Delta\u2019s flight attendants and airport customer service agents while advising on the uniform project for Delta\u2019s ramp and ground support agents, Delta Cargo agents and Delta TechOps employees.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough challenges and triumphs, the Delta uniform has been a source of great pride for generations of Delta people and continues to serve as a symbol of our values and the world class service for which we\u2019re known,\u201d said Tim Mapes, Delta\u2019s senior vice president for marketing. \u201cWith Zac\u2019s talent and expertise, and in partnership with Delta people worldwide, we look forward to creating a timeless, fashionable and functional new collection that will continue to be a point of pride and symbol of our brand for the 170 million customers who fly with us each year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Known for his fresh and innovative designs, Posen\u2019s brand of modern American glamour pairs well with Delta\u2019s brand attributes, and he will be personally engaged throughout the multi-year project. His designs are favored from the White House to the red carpet in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to partner with this classic American brand and look forward to collaborating with Delta employees to understand their wants and needs for the new collection,\u201d said Posen. \u201cTogether, we will bring everyday elegance and style innovation to the ground and air alike, while making employees look and feel their best.”<\/p>\n
Over the next few months, Posen will work with Delta employees to better understand the specialized needs of Delta\u2019s active workforce. The prototypes will then undergo intensive wear testing to ensure functionality and fit before the final collection is produced. Consistent with Delta\u2019s culture, employees will drive the project and be heavily involved in every phase along the way.<\/p>\n
The new uniform program is part of a larger brand transformation and investment as Delta works to ensure its thoughtful, reliable and innovative brand attributes imbue all areas of the customer experience, including airport facilities, technology and global products and services.<\/p>\n
The new collection is expected to launch in early 2018.
